Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Huh? What are you doing over there? You dug such a big hole, so deep?" Obi was walking by the side of the road, and happened to see people working not far away, among which there were more orcs.

"Oh? It's digging the foundation and preparing to build a building." Tess said excitedly, with the corners of her mouth raised, "Young master plans to build the tallest building in the world there."

"The tallest building in the world?" Obi was astonished, and hurriedly stepped forward to look at it. His eyes widened when he saw it, and he exclaimed, "So much iron?"

"It's really too much iron, what is it going to do? Why put it all on the bottom?" Ryan shouted incomprehensibly.

"That iron is for building houses, and the houses built in this way will not fall down." Tees replied with a chuckle.

"Just to build a house? So much iron?" Obi wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

It is so unreasonable that so much iron is used to make armor and weapons, but it is unreasonable to use it to build a house. He will not admit that he is envious or jealous.

Chapter 0655 saltpeter? !

Castle study.

Liu Feng is reading books and studying economics by himself to prepare for future economic rule. After all, his business will grow bigger and bigger in the future. If he does not have more knowledge reserves now, he may not be able to do what he wants in the future.

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a knock on the study door, but Liu Feng said without raising his head, "Come in."

"Kagji!"

The study door was pushed open, and Mina stepped in, holding a document in one hand and a cloth bag in the other, and said softly, "Master, this is the product catalog brought by that group."

"Oh? So fast?" Liu Feng was surprised. How long did it take to order the goods clearly? He thought it would take half an hour to figure it out.

"Master, you can tell just by looking at it." Mina's exquisite face was a little strange, and she put the document on the desk.

"It looks like something interesting happened?" Liu Feng understood Maoerniang's character, put down the book, and picked up the file to read.

"Huh? This..." Liu Feng opened his black eyes slightly as soon as he saw it, and his face suddenly became strange. The names of the goods on this document are too familiar, right?

Linen, ceramics...

"Master, these goods are all sold by us in Xiyang City." Mina was a little bit dumbfounded, and the cat's tail flicked back and forth.

"What's the situation?" Liu Feng frowned, and now the goods he sold have returned to Xiyang City?

The information he received was that Di Si's sister had sent someone and brought goods, but he didn't expect it to be the goods he sold in Xiyang City.

"Master, I've found out clearly that these goods were all robbed by Sister Tiss." Mina looked a little helpless.

"Stealed it?" Liu Feng paused while looking at the file, and looked at Maoerniang in surprise.

"Master, this is the only thing that belongs to them." Mina said angrily, and put the cloth bag in her other hand on the table.

"Boom!" There was a soft sound.

"What?" Liu Feng rubbed his forehead, which gave him a difficult problem.

"It should be a kind of ore." Mina opened the bag and said helplessly, "Those people don't know what it is, they heard that they brought it to us to see if it's worth it."

"It's really unreasonable..." Liu Feng put down his hands, looked at the ore on the table, but stopped what he wanted to say.

"Master, what's the matter?" Mina wondered, and glanced at the ore on the table, it was just an ordinary stone.

"Finally found it." Liu Feng picked up the ore to observe carefully, and said with a chuckle, "I didn't expect to send it to my door."

Mina blinked her blue eyes, raised her cat ears, and asked hesitantly, "Master, do you know this ore?"

"Saltpeter, this is a good thing, summer depends entirely on it." Liu Feng's black eyes flickered, some words could not be said, saltpeter is one of the raw materials of gunpowder.

Originally, he planned to get gunpowder from the earth, but he thought of a series of consequences, so he gave up the idea. He searched for saltpeter in this world and made earth gunpowder first. in front of others.

Of course, he didn't plan to use the gunpowder for the time being. It was used as a foundation, as a trump card. Based on his plans and observations, there was a high probability that this gunpowder would not be used in the next few years.

He didn't want to bring the devil of war to the world too early. Once it was leaked, careerists would dare to do anything. He knew the power and danger of gunpowder too well.

Once it was leaked, it would be too dangerous for someone to use gunpowder to deal with him desperately, so he could only press the bottom of the box and use it as a hole card.

"Xiamen?" Mina was stunned, what does this ore have to do with Xia Tian?

"You'll know when the time comes, anyway, it's not far away from summer." Liu Feng put down the saltpeter, another function of saltpeter is to make ice.

Liu Feng has not experienced summer in this era, but it is not far away. He heard from Nicole, Wei Ya and others that summer is very hot.

"Oh." Mina pouted, and didn't ask anymore. She knew the young master's temperament, and she wouldn't say anything if she asked.

"Where are people?" Liu Feng looked at the saltpeter and thought about it.

"Dice is shopping with her. She seems to be going to eat." Mina stepped to the shelf where the kettle was placed, and poured a glass of water for Liu Feng.

"How do you think about it?" Liu Feng picked up the water glass and asked, "We can't accept those goods."

"Master, are you afraid that others will say that we are cheating?" Mina immediately knew the master's concerns.

"The news will always spread, and it cannot be concealed." Liu Feng sighed, the importance of reputation and credit, he came from the earth and knows how important it is.

"Indeed." Mina nodded her head lightly. Those merchants were robbed, so how could they come to Xiyang City? They must have seen those orcs.

Now that the orcs have also come to Xiyang City, there is no guarantee that they will not recognize them. If Xiyang City accepts these goods, even if they bought them without knowing it, they will cause a commotion.

"How many goods are there?" Liu Feng looked at the saltpeter, thinking about countermeasures.

"About 500 gold coins." Mina responded immediately, someone had estimated the price when checking the goods.

"So many?" Liu Feng was surprised, how many caravans have been robbed.

"The information I got from those orcs was all from small caravans." Mina can now imagine how embarrassing Tess will be when she finds out.

"It seems that it depends on this thing." Liu Feng patted the saltpeter on the table, he had a rough plan.

"Master, what should I do?" Mina asked curiously, with her cat ears pointing towards Liu Feng.

"Don't let that batch of goods enter the city." Liu Feng said calmly, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "Let them give up this batch of goods and sell them at a low price."

The low price he mentioned means reselling it to other merchants outside the territory of Xiyang City, so that people will not suspect him. After all, the price of Xiyang City is uniform, and it will not be sold at a lower price. This is well known. rules.

"Are they willing?" Mina frowned, and they were talking about Ryan and others.

"They will agree." Liu Feng said calmly, already thinking of a way.

Chapter 0656 tangled horn mother.

"Miss Tees, aren't we going to see Your Excellency Liu Feng?" Ryan asked a little uneasy, her eyes wandering around, there are too many people on the street, right? It was really lively, and there were people gathering and chatting under the shade of the trees on the side of the road.
